Panasonic recently announced the successor to the popular XR57 in Europe. Whereas the XR57 was essentially a XR55 with added HDMI, the SA-XR58 improves upon the performance and usability of the product.
The SNR is improved from 85dB on the XR57 to 90dB on the XR58. The SA-XR58 also adds dual-amping in 5.1 mode, an on-screen display (OSD), and auto-setup and equalization via microphone. There is are no details yet on the extent of the equalization and room setup features.
All other inputs / outputs are the same as the SA-XR57. The announced MSRP in Europe is 549 Euros, which will probably translate into a U.S. MSRP of $599 to $699.
Look for a U.S. announcement on this product next month. Until then, you can view a datasheet and specifications on Panasonic's German site.
